NINGDE, China, April 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Contemporary Amperex Technology Co., Limited (CATL) <300750.SZ> is proud to announce its innovative liquid cooling battery energy storage system (BESS) solution based on Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), performs well under UL 9540A.
CATL BESS Products Certified to be Safe Under UL 9540A Test
UL 9540A is a well-recognized test method which evaluates fire safety risk when battery cell thermal runaway takes place. It's perceived as an important reference for BESS safety. With SAFETY at the top of its priorities, CATL responds positively to UL 9540A test by testing its full range of BESS products––Cell, Module and Rack of liquid and air cooling. And all products turn out to be safe with mild and short smoke.
Test Layout Without fire protection system, thermal runaway is strictly controlled within the initiating cell, no cell propagation and adjacent modules function well after test. For the initiating cell, there is no flaming, flying debris or gas explosion.
Rack-level UL 9540A Test
Temperature rise of both target BESS and wall surface is negligible during the process which complies with NFPA 220 and NFPA 855 requirements.
Test Temperature Analysis CATL's commitment on SAFETY
LFP chemistry is the choice of CATL BESS for the priority of SAFETY, especially when BESS is applied to complex energy infrastructure applications. LFP chemistry's thermal decomposition temperature is up to 800 degrees C and it releases less gas during thermal runaway compared with NCM chemistry. Not releasing oxygen is the characteristic of LFP and is the key to avoiding potential risk of second damage explosion.
Scientific product development and verification system is adopted to balance battery performance. CATL is well-known for its prismatic cell, the unique vent design controls gas release and its direction in time to prevent dramatic cell damage. Anti-flammable material is applied in all levels, meanwhile, rack safety is enhanced structurally and electrically to prevent fire or explosion.
CATL Liquid Cooling LFP Battery Rack Sustainable renewable energy can be affected by "Mother Nature" and BESS is needed to provide consistent quality power output thereby opening up more distributed power strategies. Safe, reliable and long-life LFP BESS has always been the core of CATL philosophy and CATL is committed to continuous LFP improvement.
In addition to the stringent UL 9540A test, CATL liquid cooling LFP battery rack is also qualified for EU safety standards including IEC 62619 / 62477-1 LVD / 61000-6-2/-4 EMC and UL 1973 standard. Having passed rigorous safety and reliability tests, CATL's liquid cooling LFP battery solution is ready and should be at project installation sites in the near future.

寧德、中國、2020年4月14日/美通社/--寧德時代股份有限公司自豪地宣佈,其創新的基於磷酸鐵鋰的液體冷卻電池儲能系統(BESS)解決方案在UL 9540A中表現良好。
CATL Bess產品通過UL 9540A測試獲得安全認證
UL 9540A是一種公認的測試方法,用於評估發生電池熱失控時的火災安全風險。它被認為是貝絲安全的重要參考。CATL將安全放在首位,通過測試其全系列Bess產品--電池、模塊以及液體和空氣冷卻機架,對UL 9540A測試做出了積極迴應。事實證明,所有產品都是安全的,煙霧温和而短暫。
測試佈局 在沒有防火系統的情況下,熱失控被嚴格控制在起爆單元內,沒有單元繁殖,相鄰模塊經過測試後運行良好。對於起爆電池,沒有燃燒、飛濺的碎片或氣體爆炸。
機架級UL 9540A測試
靶材和牆體表面的温升在整個過程中可以忽略不計,符合NFPA 220和NFPA 855的要求。
測試温度分析 CATL對安全的承諾
出於安全考慮,LFP化學是CATL BESS的首選,特別是當BESS應用於複雜的能源基礎設施應用時。LFP化學的熱分解温度高達800攝氏度,與NCM化學相比,它在熱失控期間釋放的氣體更少。不放氧是LFP的特點,是避免二次傷害爆炸隱患的關鍵。
採用科學的產品開發和驗證體系,平衡電池性能。CATL以其稜柱形電池而聞名,獨特的通風口設計控制氣體的釋放和及時的方向,以防止電池受到嚴重損害。各級均採用阻燃材料,同時在結構和電氣上加強了機架安全,防止火災或爆炸。
CATL液冷LFP電池機架 可持續的可再生能源可能會受到“大自然母親”的影響,因此需要BESS來提供一致的高質量電力輸出,從而開啟更多的分佈式電力戰略。安全、可靠、長壽命的LFP BESS一直是CATL理念的核心,CATL致力於LFP的持續改進。
除了嚴格的UL 9540A測試外,CATL液冷LFP電池機架還符合歐盟安全標準,包括IEC 62619/62477-1LVD/61000-6-2/-4EMC和UL1973標準。通過嚴格的安全和可靠性測試後,CATL的液體冷卻LFP電池解決方案已經準備就緒,應該在不久的將來就可以在項目安裝現場使用。
